The normal body temp of human body is 37 degree.So anything below this temp whether it is water or something else feels cold.So the main idea about this is only the temp difference between the body and the surrounding object.

Your question is actually incorrect. If the temperature of the air and water are the same, and are cooler than your skin, the water will feel colder than the air. If the temperature of the air and the water are the same, and are warmer than your skin, the water will feel warmer than the air. This is...

If the temperature of the air and the water are the same, and are warmer than your skin, the water will feel warmer than the air. This is because water transfers heat energy 32 times faster than air of the same temperature. It doesn't matter if the energy is going into or coming out of the water or air read less

Cold water has a higher density than warm water. Water gets colder with depth because cold, salty ocean water sinks to the bottom of the ocean basins below the less dense warmer water near the surface. The sinking and transport of cold, salty water at depth combined with the wind-driven flow of warm...

Cold water has a higher density than warm water. Water gets colder with depth because cold, salty ocean water sinks to the bottom of the ocean basins below the less dense warmer water near the surface. The sinking and transport of cold, salty water at depth combined with the wind-driven flow of warm water at the surface creates a complex pattern of ocean circulation called the 'global conveyor belt.' I guess this will be useful for your daughter.If still she doesn't understand then contact me for further queries. Thank You read less

Yes, Sometimes children often wonder such things and makes one difficult to understand. Water is cold, yes but compared to what. If I put it simply, everything is colder or hotter, faster or slower in comparison to something else. In this case, its colder then our body temperature. If you show her boiled water, it will look hotter to her as its temperature is higher then out body. And that will be a great opportunity to introduce her to thermometer. read less

Prove that (sinA-cosA+1)/(sinA+cos-1)=1/(secA-tanA)
LHS = (sinA-cosA+1)/(sinA+cos-1) = (1 + sinA) (1 - sinA)/cos A(1 - sinA) = 1 - sin2A/cos A(1 - sinA) = cos2A/cos A(1 - sinA) = cosA/(1 - sinA) = 1/ (1/cosA - sinA/cosA) = 1/(secA - tanA) = RHS Hence Proved
